Nancy Resnick met The Beatles when she was 14 years old, and remembers Paul McCartney wanting to hold – or shake, actually – her hand.

“It was the first time The Beatles were in Los Angeles,” Resnick, 69 said, showing pictures of the meeting on her phone. “John Lennon even sang to me!”

And now she was having breakfast with The Beatles. Sort of. Resnick was among a full house inside Vibe nightclub at Morongo Casino, Resort and Spa on Sunday, March 25 for a live broadcast of the long-running radio show, “Breakfast With The Beatles” hosted by Chris Carter.

Morongo started featuring monthly live ‘Breakfast’ broadcasts earlier this year, and has one a month scheduled through November at the casino.

The host, dressed in blue jeans, a white collared shirt, skinny black tie and black blazer made his way through the crowd and back to his perch on stage, which was appointed with puppets of The Beatles and other memorabilia.

“You guys have got to drink some more,” Carter announced from the stage before playing “Come Together” as the audience cheered.

Carter began hosting the show on KLOS 95.5 FM nearly two decades ago. A founding member and original bassist for the rock band Dramarama and writer/producer of the 2004 rockumentary “Mayor of Sunset Strip” about disc jockey Rodney Bingenheimer, he got the gig by winning a contest to replace former host Dierdre O’Donoghue after she died in 2001.

The interactive show is filled with Fab Four trivia, prize giveaways, interesting stories, news and of course songs – both rare and popular – in addition to Carter taking calls and requests.

“The shows at Morongo are a little different because the stage is so big and we are used to smaller venues,” Carter said. “It’s so fun though, because the people that come are obviously fans of the show and they know what to expect and we try to give them a little extra.”

One longtime listener made the drive from Mentone in San Bernardino County.

“”I’ve always wanted to come to this, but Seal Beach is too far,” Laverne Asplund said while sipping on a mimosa. “I grew up listening to The Beatles and we always have ‘Breakfast With The Beatles’ on the radio at the house on Sundays.”

Despite being a radio show dedicated to a single (but beloved!) group, Carter said there are always new bits of information on the iconic group surfacing even today. He said he spends between 8-10 hours everyday putting the shows together.

“It’s not like I am learning about drywalling,” Carter said. “There is never-ending information about The Beatles and I’d be bored if I knew everything there is to know. If you look at what four guys are doing on a given day, you will always find something you didn’t know.”

And Carter said that there is a fun new twist is on the horizon at the live broadcasts so get those blotters ready.

“It’s still in the works, but we will be introducing Ringo Bingo,” Carter said with a laugh. “Everyone will have bingo cards and if you win you have to yell, ‘Ringo Bingo.’ Maybe it will be electronic, we have to figure out what our finances are.”

Tickets to the live broadcasts at both Morongo and Kobe Steakhouse include a brunch buffet.
